Join us for a Fox Hunt
"aka T-hunt"
​
Saturday October 18th @ 9am - 11am
MVARA will host a Fall Fox Hunt or T-hunt as some may call it. This event will be a bit different than prior events, as we will also be hosting Scouting USA at the radio room. We will hide the fox somewhere on the grounds of the March Field Air Museum. The fox transmission will repeat every three minutes on the T-hunt simplex frequency of 146.565 starting at 9:00am and finishing up at 11am. The location of the fox will be revealed after 11am. 

Fox will be in the Moreno Valley City Limits

Fox Freq: 146.565 Simplex
Please keep the T-hunt frequency clear of all traffic so the fox can beacon.
